Many people are probably pretty thankful that their parents decided to get married and have a kid... but that doesn't give us any moral duty to rush off and have ten children!
It's only the people who end up coming into existence who seem to think it was such a crucial event... I'm sure most nonentities don't mind one way or the other. |
Accidents do happen, with any kind of birth control. There is always a chance and a risk that you could get pregnant if you're not trying to. I always kid with my parents that I was the best accident of their life.
I don't see many people having 10 children... and if they are, you can get an operation to cease that. I was once a non-entity I guess you could say, at the mercy of my mother. And now I am an entity. You don't think very much in terms of "what could be" as opposed to "what is" do you?
